Among the graduates of the High

pleased to notice that Miss Fanny
Watson, of Morris, takes high rank.
No English landlord has such
rock-ribbed, reversible, self-acting
and never failing method ofcollecting
rents from oyer-burdened Irish ten
ants, Us has Jim Hill for Ievying and
exacting tribute from the unfortu-
mates who dwell i'll the provinces
traversed by his lines Of road.
That man who has been trusted
and favored by home merchants who,
without paying his long standing ac-
counts, pays his cash to transient
peddler for some needed goods is both
cheeky and ungrateful. A nImbelIcan
be named who have been guilty of
doing just that thing during the past
week.
The pupils and children Of the Con-
vent of Mercy school will give their
second annual entertainment at the
Morris roller rink, this evening.
Careful preparations have been made
and the entertainment will be we'll
worth attending. The programme is
varied with attractive features and
all who can. should attend.
The Old Settlers of Stevens county
meet tomorrow at the North Star
Mill. There will be boating, and
swinging, and refreshments, and
music, and short speeches, and much
talking over of old times and jolly
good time all day. Be there If you
want to enjoy yourself. The invita-
tion'to attend is general.
Many of the residents of the village
of Morris are deserving of censure for
lack ofinterest in the recent Farmers |
institute. A few such institutes will |
result in sufficiently improved |
methods of farming and stock raising |
to add $500 an acre to the present |
value of land in the county and each |
and every one should have helped
the good work on.
There was a pleasant family re-
union at Riverside on Thursday |
oflast week. Hon. and Mrs. H. w. |
Stone had the pleasure of having all
of their children and eleven of their
thirteen grand children with them at
that time. Mrs. A. w. Wells,
mother of Mrs. Stone, was also
present and enjoyed visiting with her
grand children, and great.grand
children.
One firm in Morris mas recently Or
dered two car loads of farm machinery
shipped over the H. & D. road to
Graceville and another car load
shipped over the NJ. & P 1t would
have been more convenient to have
shipped all this machinery to Morris
over the Manitoba. but the amount
that could be saved in freight rates
forced the shipper to do otherwise.
The Manitoba should take a tumble
to itself.
At the regular meeting of Overton
Post G. A, R.. the following were APP
pointed as Executive and Finance
Committee, for the coming Encamp-
ment of June 1888, having full charge
and power: n. r. Spur, J. D.
Gillespie, A. P. Dye, r. J. Hall, and
w. Wilcox. There is work now to |
be done and the Post does not intend |
to move slowly in what is before them,
and will get there, as is always the |
case with them, Yin good shape"
The TRIBUNE is pleased to learn |
that broken machinery will be re-
turned to manufacturers for repairs |
by the Manitoba at half rates. Now |
that the fact is partially made known,
we hope farmers will take advantage |
of it and also endeavor to see that |
when the machinery is brought from
the manufactures back to them again,
that the Manitoba don't steal III
freight charges more than twice |
enough to make up for past liberality. |
Travelling grocers delivered lot !
of goods to the people of this county
one day last week. Upon cash or
ders of equal size, any merchant in
town would have under-sold the |
travellers upon any order they took
here or elsewhere. And by giving
the same number of cash orders to
home merchants, the money would
have been kept at home, "times"
made better, and everybody would
have been benefited. AS it is no one
has been helped, except the travelling
statesmen, whose only interest in the
county is to get what money they
can out of it.
Last Thursday afternoon little son
of Mr.. Domstreich, of Swan Lake,
met with serious if not fatal acct
dent, The little fellow was in town
with his mother, and In walking past
a team Of horses one of them kicked
at him, striking him in the forehead,
crushing in a portion of the skull and
cutting his face in shocking man
ner. The boy was picked up and COL
veyed to the residence of Mr.. Watzke
